The programs, known as Marketing Assistance Loans (MALs) and
Loan Deficiency Payments (LDPs), were authorized by the 2014
Farm Bill for the 2014-2018 crop years.
A producer who is eligible to obtain a marketing loan, but
agrees to forgo the loan, may obtain a loan deficiency payment
if such a payment is available. The programs provide financing
and marketing assistance for wheat, feed grains, soybeans and
other oilseeds, pulse crops, rice, peanuts, cotton, wool and
honey. For eligibility, producers must control the commodity or
a title to the commodity until the loan is repaid.
FSA is now accepting applications for all eligible commodities.
For expedited service, interested producers are encouraged to
schedule an appointment. Other program restrictions may apply,
including limits on total payments or gross income thresholds.
Please visit with Logan County FSA office for further details.

*!CALL BEFORE YOU HAUL!*
Unauthorized removal of grain under loan with the USDA is a
serious matter which can result in MAL Program denial for a
minimum of 2 years and violation payments. Please call the
office prior to hauling to avoid these situations.
